Which I’ve been too stupid to do. Therefore, I have to live with the aforementioned. Life is a bitch, and then you don’t die. Go figure.

I didn’t check to see if you ever heard from that Scotsman you wanted to hear from, but here is Jordan Peterson addressing ‘the pay gap’.

The link I’m giving should start at the 5 minute mark, but if it doesn’t skip ahead to there and listen to the next 5 minutes of so.

At a minimum, the exchange is very entertaining.
